Good news: the new judge is calling everything defenses & counterclaims, as if it is one word.

Bad news: the pro se said this is wrong: can we have a second opinion?:The judge made my wife Carmen leave the room when I was on the stand because only my name is on the lease. If I go back on the stand, can she stay?The judge only let me talk about the heat and the violations from court-ordered inspection. Some other things are violations but are not on that list. The warranty of hability should include all of them. Is there a way to convince the judge to let us talk about those?
